Subject:      fuel pump insulation??
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1

Hi,

This morning I replaced the fuel pump on my 87 digifant.  The old pump was
a Pierburg pump.  The pieburg is FAR narrower than the bosch I am
installing.  The previous owner had to bastardize the connectors to get it
work.  I replaced the connectors with females to match the males on my new
pump.

The pierburg also has a heavy duty rubber insulator around it, but its too
narrow to get around the bosch.

Is it necessary to have an insulator, or can I just install the bosch as
is and not be concerned?

bosh pump = 0 580 463 016

thanks,

jeff
